In the other cell, a person could seen sitting wearing a face mask resembling Manish Sisodia.Delhi BJP’s working president Virendra Sachdeva claimed: “BJP workers fought for the resignation of Sisodia and, today, the results are there to see. Now, it’s the turn of Arvind Kejriwal because he is the mastermind of the entire liquor ‘scam’.” Leader of Opposition in Delhi assmbly, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, attributed the arrests of Jain and Sisodia to “the struggle of the people of Delhi and the BJP workers”.AAP did not respond to the allegations.Later in the day, however, the party’s Rajya Sabha MP, Sanjay Singh, accused BJP of sending Sisodia to jail “by hook or crook to defame Arvind Kejriwal”. He challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to explain what crime Sisodia had committed to warrant his arrest. Singh also accused BJP of being a party of “corrupt politicians”.”CBI found nothing despite conducting all possible raids on Sisodia. His name was not mentioned in the first two chargesheets that were filed after recording the statements of the witnesses. Even after repeated CBI inquiries, no evidence was found against Sisodia, ” he said, adding that his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate was “deliberate” and “politically motivated” as it came just a day before his bail hearing.
